"Now there are films such as 'La Plage' and 'Au Bord du Lac' which hark back in a more traditional way, that is more closely linked to painting (and always to music, thanks again to Michèle Bokanowsi), to the royal road of experimental film." - Dominique Noguez

"A work of exploration, to be sure, but one in which beauty and sensitivity, humor and angst find their path, while Patrick Bokanowski reworks these source materials in his own way, as if rebuilding a figure with the pieces of an exploded academic statue." -Jean-Michel Frodon
